Gurkha Hate
 

Being a noob, I was wondering why all the hate towards Gurkha. The only one I have ever smoked was a G3, and G5. The G3 I liked, the G5 liked to have killed me:gary

I can't say I "Hate" them. It's just a line that doesn't agree with my taste buds.

Smoke a few more. It'll become more evident. That's how I found out not too long ago. They gave me a cigar hangover, dragon breath and I didn't enjoy 4/5 of the ones I did smoke (the other is just okay).
I do hear there are a couple good sticks here and there.

I don't hate gurkha. I will smoke them once in a blue moon. They just don't float my boat.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

One reason is because of the supposed MSRP they set on them is outrageous.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

Yeah, I see they actually have cigars that go for 750.00, and 1150.00 apiece :O

His Majesty's Reserve

1st Production Black Dragon

Worth every penny I'm sure...

Worth maybe a penny.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I was going to say that was a good deal.

Seriously though the guys/gals doing the marketing must be very good. Not sure how else you can consistently put out an inferior product and make money. There must be a good market for the taste challenged.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I've only smoked the Grand Reserve and thought it was plain and bland. I find it unflattering that they're constantly coming out with new lines to further add to the 20+ lines they have now. Kind of defeats the exclusivity of their brand and quality imo.

Slipped a good one in at the B&M today...one of the other regulars was extolling the virtue of the Gurkha. I told him I'd never met a Gurkha I didn't not like...

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I used to enjoy the original Legends and Centurian XX. Unfortunately the current versions of these cigars are not even close to the originals. The newer blends do nothing for me.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

Don't hate em, just don't like them, although I have only smoked half of one it was enough to turn me off.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I found one of them pretty good so far? I smoked a Titan that I really enjoyed...idk..I guess the more I smoke the more my palet will change.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

Smoke what ya like :tu

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

Ive had a few of there sticks now and ive goto say the construction for me has been crap 90% of the time with draws that range from loose to plugged the wrappers are way to thin too and tend to explode about half way down and to top it off im normally sending out a search party for flavour.

They are also expensive to boot.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I don't hate them, but I haven't tried a lot of them either, I've had maybe 3 and out of the 3 I have liked 1.

Re: Gurkha Hate
 

I freaking love them!! They rank right up there with Cremosa's in my book! Can't get enough of their blends. All 487 of them.
